Leading From Behind


Many of us have been struggling to make sense of Barack Obama’s erratic foreign policy. He says he doesn’t want to fight “dumb wars” and then goes and acts stupid in Libya. He constantly seems to be working to undermine the United States’ role in the world and bows to every foreign crowned head except Queen Elizabeth II, who he gives an iPod. He returns the Churchill bust. He bends over backwards to kiss up to Hu Jintao.

It makes you wonder.

Well, wonder no long. Over at the New Yorker, Ryan Lizza sums up the erratic foreign policy of Barack Obama and it is worse that you or either imagined.

In a very long piece, we are shown an adult Hillary Clinton having to prod Barack Obama who flips between realism and idealism hoping that if he flips back and forth he can blur the two.

Ultimately, you can figure out all you need to know from a Presidential advisor who describes Barack Obama’s foreign policy as “leading from behind.” Seriously.

Leading from behind is premised on two thoughts within Barack Obama’s head:

(1) We have been replaced on the world stage by China as the pre-eminent super power; and,

(2) Everyone else hates us.

To sum it up, Barack Obama’s foreign policy is based on the belief that we have surrendered or had taken from us our leadership role in the world. He’s operating intentionally as a failure.

Obama may be moving toward something resembling a doctrine. One of his advisers described the President’s actions in Libya as “leading from behind.” That’s not a slogan designed for signs at the 2012 Democratic Convention, but it does accurately describe the balance that Obama now seems to be finding. It’s a different definition of leadership than America is known for, and it comes from two unspoken beliefs: that the relative power of the U.S. is declining, as rivals like China rise, and that the U.S. is reviled in many parts of the world. Pursuing our interests and spreading our ideals thus requires stealth and modesty as well as military strength. “It’s so at odds with the John Wayne expectation for what America is in the world,” the adviser said. “But it’s necessary for shepherding us through this phase.”

He's leading in a different way...Lambs to slaughter

jeffex11 Tuesday, April 26th at 5:50AM EDT (link)

What we are witnessing under our noses is History in the making on an epic biblical scale…….first there are some details to point out..

WW 1 started with the assignation of ArchDuke Ferdinand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archduke_Franz_Ferdinand_of_Austria

The revolution in Tunisia ….http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/world-news/revolution-in-tunisia-1.1080194…is the new Archduke Ferdinand moment that history will credit with the beginning of WWIII….!!!!!!

You see HISTORY shows us the way . Much like the bible shows us the way. WE are witnessing the resurrection of the MUSLIM CALIPHATE…..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliphate

The same caliphate that overtook Galilee in 638 is re-building in north Africa. First was Tunisia …then revolution erupted in Egypt , Yemen, Bahrain , Saudi Arabia and Syria….http://www.mapsofworld.com/africa-political-map.htm

Take a look at the map in the link……..YOU and I are watching the Muslim Caliphate being reborn ….Sunni and Shia Uniting in the Muslim Caliphate with one goal….one uniting biblical force….to destroy Judaism and Christianity !!!

I will connect the dots for you as I go in this e-mail but you have to look at history …things that have happened before to see what WE are witnessing once again….remember those that fail to recognize history repeating itself are doomed to history ‘s foregone conclusions.

There has NOT suddenly been some remarkable ….grassroots …..democratic desire to be free in the middle East! There are forces behind the uprising . Economic forces controlling the poor people of these country’s. In Egypt the average person makes about $4 a day!!!??? and food and shelter make up more than 1/2 of their daily expense. Global forces …hedge funds and big money people forced up the prices of food and LP gas in Egypt prior to the ” revolution ” for democracy in Egypt. Building in advance a mood of unrest and despair .. Egyptians you see heat and cook with liquid petroleum gas . The people of Egypt were put in an economic position where they could NOT pay to live !!!!!! they were manipulated to revolt!!!!

This revolution was staged …….NOT some innocent uprising of Democracy……….This revolution is being touted as the social media revolution ….started on facebook twitter and social media where the news spread to meet in Cairo for the call to overthrow Mubarak…the tyrant that ruled the land and held the treaty with Israel( remember that part….enforced the treaty with Israel) …..It had a “maestro” someone to direct it and build it to crescendo…http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703989504576127621712695188.html

Soon we see this revolution that started in Tunisia cascade through all of North Africa. Who is behind it and why!???? there are many players but they have to be revealed separately to make this epic story of biblical proportions make sense and it is SOOOooo remarkable!

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood is the driving force behind the drive to rebuild the Muslim Caliphate …..the world of history knew this once as the Ottoman empire …..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire… Liberal media in the US claim the the MB is innocent and good!!???? The same liberal media that claimed that the wall to wall coverage of the Egyptian uprising was just democracy rising up all by it itty bitty self!!! without regard to the story behind the rise in daily cost for Egyptians to simply live and the efforts by a google executive ” the maestro ” to fan the flames of social unrest on social media….

As America watched this uprising on their HD TV sets they had NO idea what was really happening….In fact they were being told that this was a good thing and that WE should support such an innocent uprising!!! We were being told that SUDDENLY after thousands of years of tyrannical rule in Egypt that democracy sprung forward in some organic moment !!!!! oh happy days!

At this point I need to point once again to HISTORY to give you something to think on……The Trojan Horse…….Ask yourself what history called the people of Troy who were fooled by the Greeks leaving behind the wooden horses that the people of Troy pulled behind their gates as a trophy of their scaring off the Greeks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_Horse……

What DID history call the people of Troy that failed to recognize this trick?????? DEAD ! is what they were called … dead!

Now we turn our eyes to Libya the latest uprising…..the one where our President says we need to engage our military in the enforcement of a NO FLY ZONE. One where the US now needs to protect the innocent Libyan rebels from slaughter by Qaddafi…????? Why now ? why do we act to “PROTECT ” these people and not any others ????????? especially why help the Libyan rebels as many of them are the same people our troops fought in Afghanistan and Iraq !!!!!!????? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8407047/Libyan-rebel-commander-admits-his-fighters-have-al-Qaeda-links.html

Our President did not go to congress to get involved in Libya . He went to the UN and was urged by the Arab League. Why the US?… as Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries have US planes and military equipment????? why should the US get involved in a 3rd war with a Muslim nation???? soon my friends soon I will reveal the answer……

Here is where I need to interject biblical proportions ………… the world has known many ant-Christs. Napoleon, Stalin , Mao, and Hitler just to name a few……The world is getting ready to see the works of the next historical anti-Christ ….. Ahmadinejad the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran…..make NO mistake there is nothing “Republic ” about Iran……Iran is an Islamic fundamentalist theocracy with a crazed madman as a leader……http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad A leader that believes that his role is to bathe the world in blood!!!

http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/glenn-beck/transcript/beck-who-12th-imam

Ahmadidinejad is a ” 12 er” he believes that it is his role to hasten the return of the Mahdi or the 12th Imam by bathing the world in blood. Attacking and destroying Israel and all Jews and Christians. Convert to Islam or suffer beheading !!!

Now with that stated lets get back to our time line with a bit of a back story….. Qaddafi , the leader of Libya , that our President has called for to step down and has joined a coalition with NATO to enforce a NO FLY ZONE has a son that wanted to go to the London School of Economics. I inject another player here…..George Soros…..http://www.soros.org/about/bios/staff/george-soros

Qaddafi’s son Saif, paid millions to George Soros to get him to put in a word for him at the school where Soros was an alumni . He also paid money to build up the image of the Qaddafi name here in America and solicited the help of Cass Sunstien… Who is Cass Sunstien? the most dangerous man in America today! He is the Obama administration regulatory Czar…..

REMEMBER THAT NAME …Cass Sunstien …the most dangerous man in America you may never hear about but will know his power over YOU…he is writing regulations the are limiting YOUR freedoms as you read this.

Well it seem that George Soros agreed to put in a good work for Saif Qaddafi at the famous socialist school of economics……Fabian Socialists believe in a slow and as painless and effective as possible transition to socialism rather than an violent overthrow …….What we know in this country as “PROGRESSIVES” Their logo is that of a wolf in sheeps clothing…that should tell you something about their methods!

What I am doing here is connecting dots ….people to people and connections and associations …….connecting Qaddafi to Soros to Sunstien and ultimately to the President of the United States …Obama

They are all in on this………..What is this ?????

The rise of the Ottoman Empire and the Muslim Caliphate……….and the destruction of what we know as America and capitalism in an epic global …one world order …2 evil forces combined in a global effort to destroy capitalism , Judaism , and Christianity….an evil coalition of the enemy of my enemy is my friend!! Globalists and Fabian socialists are not religious people . They abide by Saul Alinskys rules for radicals http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/communism/alinsky.htm and “the ends justify the means” these have NO ties to religion and especially NOT any of the 10 commandments!!!they are joining forces with the Muslims as they want to destroy Judaism and Christianity…..the very foundation of Capitalism itself rose from the Pilgrims creating a new system where people got to keep the fruits of their labor…..google…. american thinker the story of the pilgrims thanksgiving!

Now you will hopefully have remembered the name Cass Sunstien….let me introduce you to his wife …..Samantha Power…..another Obama administration white house adviser…..???? http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/03/the_power_of_samantha_power.html

https://americankafir.wordpress.com/tag/samantha-power/

in this video Samantha calls for an overwhelming force to protect GAZA….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oFkmcZt4OQ&feature=player_embedded

Now before I loose you and you call the men in the white coats on me …this is NOT just about Obama…this is NOT a racial thing …IT IS AN AMERICAN THING!!!! IT IS A CHRISTIAN THING ..all of this has been staging for a very long time . the stories uncovered by people looking to explain the many un-american things done by this administration from bowing to foreign leaders to wanting to try Kahlid sheik Muhammed in NY in a civilian trial rather than a military one. The progressives and globalists behind this have come forward in an all out effort because of the election of Obama and the 111th democratic congress . But he is only a pawn in their grand scheme to destroy our system and way of life as we have known it. To make it seem as if capitalism has failed all by it’s itty bitty self and sell America on a new system!!!! A socialist system cleverly disguised as “state capitalism” google…. cloward and piven and see just how this works…To collapse capitalism by overwhelming the entitlement hand outs… and just like a line in the movie “DAYS OF THUNDER” where Robert Duvall says…” their ain’t nothin’ stock about a stock car” their ain’t nothin’ capitalist about state capitalism!!!!!!!! it’s just a name for state-ism, or government controlled business and a new serfdom!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serfdom! Serfs don’t have freedoms and rights .

Yes that’s right a feudalistic society where property ownership is only for the elite political class. The constitution that we knew will be replaced by a new one….One that enumerates the power of government OVER you and not one that limits it’s power over you as the one we have now does.

There is much more to this ….Soooo much more !!! but lets get back on track

Now we have players in this so – called sudden uprising of democracy in north Africa……..back to our role in Libya with NATO..The link I provide is to what Obama used as pretext to go in to help the poor Libyan people and save them from “genocide ” by Qaddafi http://www.responsibilitytoprotect.org/ Why them and not the Tunisians or Egyptians? because Qaddafi is in on this staged game being played on the American Christians…..he is part of the ruse. He is connected to all the players in the game. Soros, Sunstien, Powers, and Obama!!!

Well guess who helped create this …responsibility to protect act…our own white house adviser and wife of Cass Sunstien , the most dangerous man in America, Samantha Power!!!

Hmmmm…let examine our connections here….like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon….we connect Qaddafi to Soros to Sunstien to Powers to Obama and the white house……. Now here is MY educated and researched speculation…….THIS IS ALL STAGED !!! We are no more going to kill Qaddafi than we are going to pay off the debt by spending more money!!!!

You see if you go back and read where I started this all ….the Muslim caliphate ……is being helped along by the White House….by Obama and the people HE associates with……??????

His putting OUR military involved in Libya is a pretext for 2 things……first is is a pretext for the Muslim world to go to the UN and declare ….wait for it…….”the responsibility to protect” ….well here is where you ask ….” to protect what? who? what the hell are you getting at”

ISRAEL….. Israel my friends is being set up for inhalation…by the Muslim Brotherhood …by Iran and Egypt and all of the Muslim countries combined in the newly formed Muslim caliphate …one they our President help along…….They will set up Gaza for the ultimate in jihad to attack Israel …..and when Israel retaliates they will rush to the UN for permission to save the people of Palestine …you know …the ones they have set up as bait for Israel to attack so they can justify an all out Muslim destruction of Israel……….

NOW wait !! hold on here Israel is OUR ally we can’t let that happen …right……pretext part 2 for why we were part of the no fly zone in Libya…….Remember Obama didn’t go to congress for permission as our constitution calls for …he went to the UN ….The UN is what the globalist recognize as the world’s authority …….read this next part very carefully..

The newly formed Muslim Caliphate will attack Israel ….with the permission of the UN under the staged pretext of the “responsibility to protect act ” written by an Obama white house adviser …..and the United States will ….NOT act to help her ally Israel.. WHAT!!! Obama will not intervene as he is the one that set the staged pretext to go in to Libya in the first place……the UN will claim to Obama and the world…..”well you did it” ” so can they!!!!!”

Ahmadidinejad…our 12th Imam believer is poised to wipe Israel off the face of the earth!!!! all he needs is the US to sit this one out!!!! He knows that America would join in with Israel and strike before Iran could even launch a missile…..well he did before now…..Now he has proof that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave will NOT retaliate let alone strike in advance of such an attack on Israel.

If the hair on you neck is standing up ….you see as I do that the world is staging for WWW3 and many of us will wonder WTF happened!!!! If you don’t believe any of what I typed here then I hope the sand doesn’t get in your ears …..If you think any of this is true then WE THE PEOPLE have an obligation to get this story told and make people aware of what the complicit news media is NOT telling the American people…. We have to stand with Israel and the Jews…..

Why …because when the Muslim caliphate is done with the Jews ….Christians are NEXT!!!!!!!

In case you believe any of that posting ……ask yourself how this can happen right under our noses……google …normalcy bias

People see and recognize something is wrong yet they fail to act before it’s too late. They don’t want to believe it and hide behind what they perceive to be normal. Well this administration has been changing what the perception of “normal ” is for 2 1/2 years by doing some pretty outrageous things . Things that only people like those in the Tea Party and it’s silent supporters recognize as NOT NORMAL ….. the rest WANT it to be normal as they are too weak to stand up!!!!

There is prophecy for what I proposed in the bible …Ezekiel 38 39

Were it to be true

Wayne (Diary) Tuesday, April 26th at 8:29AM EDT (link)

and history doth repeat itself for those of short memory, so will the Muslim empire, as all despot reigns come to an end and the cycle will start again.

James Madison understood human nature regardless of religious preferences and the U.S. Constitution is a tapestry threaded by human events and history. It may very well be the beginning of WWIII, but hardly the end of the world as we know it.

Truer words were never tapped on a keyboard than those of “people see and recognize something is wrong”, but I do not share the idea that we are failing to act. The only question is whether or not it is too little too late. Those of us too consumed (no pun intended) with pursuing the American Dream” now have had the time to reflect on these and other events that will shape the not too distant future. With luck and Devine blessings, we might yet find a way out of this mess.

Either way, we are reaping the seeds we have sewn through ignorance and/or apathy. It’s never too late do the right thing and one by one we are awaking into this nightmare. Our ranks are swelling one person at a time.

I have faith in the Constitution, the American spirit and human history that regardless of our future suffrages, we will find ourselves back from where we started. And in the end we will find that “It is the Constitution stupid” that will save all of us educated idiots from ourselves.

My two cents…

Wayne

“To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” – Thomas Jefferson -

 
 

It remains to be seen...

jiminga Tuesday, April 26th at 7:09AM EDT (link)

if Obama is really a functionary in re-establishing the Caliphate, but it’s certainly no coincidence that the changes in the Middle East come when he’s in the White House. I believe the Muslim Brotherhood has realized Obama doesn’t have the experience or the desire to resist the “revolutions” and is too naive to really understand what is going on. After all, he seems to be viewing these events as community organizing on a grand scale and that makes him proud.

Simply put, the MB saw weakness and are capitalizing on it.

 

What on earth is this??

BigRedConservative (Diary) Tuesday, April 26th at 8:47AM EDT (link)

There is no structure, logic or indeed grammar to your argument. It is a load of garbled and rambling text without rhyme or reason. Do you a) really think Obama is trying to wipe Israel off the map, and b) Democrats are part of a conspiracy to make us all serfs? If you answered yes to either of the above questions, you probably also believe Elvis was kidnapped by aliens and Bush was responsible for 9/11.

Please think before you right. You might be entirely correct, but if you can’t write it clearly, no-one’s going to believe you.

And two and two always makes a five
It’s the devil’s way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now

“Please think before you right” spelling counts in your prog world too. don’t let the spell checker police see your post.

Reading comprehension is required as well. Obama is not going to destroy Isreal. He IS however, NOT going to act to defend her as he set up the pretext to attack Israel with his no fly zone participation in Libya…….

The real question there is …will the military act to defend Israel in what essentially amounts to a military over throw of Obama for failing to act…??????
Watch as he goes to Ireland in May????? May 15th especially

I won’t wait for any discussion other than sentence structure and grammatical errors !!! t

I would also reference Daniel 8:23 to describe Obama as one of the “transgressors”. A transgressor uses fraud, deceit, and treachery to get what they want, and Obama, Soros, and their group are being exposed. They are right now “coming to the full”, so we will see the anti-Christ on the world stage very soon.
Israel will not be destroyed. However, the anti-Christ will use the “Responsibilty to Protect” as a ruse to control and ultimately betray Israel. In Daniel 8:25, it is written the anti-Christ shall, “by peace, destroy many”. Obama’s words, and promises have all been huge, damnable lies which are laying the groundwork for the anti-Christ. The overthrow of Egypt was coordinated within our own White House . It’s purpose was to facilitate war with Israel.

loss of credibility

With or without religions, there will be good people that will do good things. With or without religions there will be evil people that do evil things. But, it takes a religion for good people to do evil things.”
World domination desire has been a part of mankind for as long as there have been people. It is a not a new phenomena. Absolute Power is the strongest intoxicant that has ever existed….and it has ALWAYS existed and it will ALWAYS exist. People that have not made themselves read past world history, wander around thinking today’s problems are new and novel…..and make themselves look no more educated than some primitive tribe that believe mystical, deity-directed events are occuring.
The quest for absolute power has always wrapped itself in a religion to justify the evil actions that obtaining and keeping absolute power always require. Religion has always made evil “somehow” acceptable by claiming it’s part of some divine plan and those who perform evil acts are just instruments of Deity Name’s divine plan……not evil people doing evil things, but Devout, loyal, dedicated, committed Deity Servers.
There’s no way to logically explain away evil actions except by wrapping the actions in a completely illogical religious explanation.
Illogical evil can only be made acceptable by tying it to some illogical religious purpose.
At our core, ALL humans know it is wrong to cut the head off someone that doesn’t agree with us, and/or doesn’t give us what we won’t. A fundamentally moral human can not possible cut off someone’s head without having “some/any” religion to justify that evil action.
Arafat famously said once that any religious war is just two groups of people attempting to kill each other to prove who has the best imaginary friend.
Yes, America is at risk today that is greater than any we have been faced with in our VERY short duration as a Country. All the diverse people and groups involved in the “fundamental transformation….(I didn’t invent that term) of America” from what America has been for 220+ years into some new type of governance are all aligned with one basic, shared belief: To create a newly transformed America FIRST requires the destruction of what presently exists.
All the diverse people and groups agree on the complete demolition before building a totally different, new type of governing Entity. The diverse groups will cooperate to achieve this required 1st step…..THEN, is when all the diverse groups will begin fighting each other over the far different wished-for-concepts of what a New, Fundamentally Transformed America……SHOULD BE.
Russia and America worked cooperatively to defeat and destroy the 3rd Reich…..THEN is when we started fighting EACH OTHER for what the New Fundamentally Transformed Germany….SHOULD BE…..that was only 65 years ago folks.
It takes like-minded people to create a new Country, but the destruction of a Country accommodates many, many different diverse groups.
The quest for world domination is as rare as every new generation of teenagers being VERY interested in sex….and as rare as the oldest generation being convinced the world will end in THEIR lifetimes.
With as little as a couple of hundred hours of reading past world history, it will become completely apparent that there has been a continuous repetition of the Quest for Absolute Power. Alexander the Great, the Persian Empire, Mongol Empire, Byzantine Empire, the Roman Caesars, Napoleon, Hitler and the 3rd Reich, those Muslims that “want” a worldwide Caliphate, George Soros and those that want a One World Governance, Marxists and Communists. People 40 and under have no memory of the threat from Communism’s desire for world domination.
As soon as you have as few as 3 people in one location, TWO of those people will decide that THEY are going to run things, make all the rules and decisions, control ALL of whatever wealth exists.
“Predicting” that at some point in the future there will be some charismatic person that rises to power and then seeks world domination requires as much talent and “prophetic” ability as predicting in the future there will be people driven by greed, jealousy, anger, and avarice. I “predict” in the future that there will be 2 men wager what the outcome of a sporting event will be, and one will lose their money, that some man will become attracted, and act on that attraction, with another man’s wife, that some person will steal something they want from someone that has what they want, that some person will lie to another person…..that if I give a strip of cooked bacon to some dog, that dog will want another strip of bacon.
Because some person, well read in past world history “prophetically predicts” that all the same, have-always-existed, deplorable human behavior traits, will affect future events does not in the slightest define authentic, prophetic abilities…..what it does prove is how completely uneducated 99% of the world’s population is about past world history, and the CONTINUOUS repetition of different groups of people displaying the same actions, caused by mankind’s worst (and completely predictable) behavioral traits ALWAYS leading to countless acts of evil……made “acceptable” when wrapped in “some” religion.
There is a “recipe” for Absolute Power and control of a populace. When all the correct ingredients and amounts of, are added in the proper sequence, and all instructions are followed, the result is chocolate chip cookies OR Absolute Power…..whether it is a Monarch, Emperor, Dictator, Czar, Great Leader, Caliphate, One World Governance….
Control of the flow and content of all information.
Control of an external and internal military AND, along with an unarmed populace
Control of the Courts, Judicial System, creation and enforcement of laws
Control of the money supply at every level
Control of basic life necessities…..food, water, utilities, travel, occupations, medical care.
Control of which religions are allowed and which that aren’t.
Once the recipe is followed, Absolute Power will exist in THAT Country…or region.
Then like any recipe will do….whether Absolute Power or for chocolate chip cookies….you double, or triple, or quadruple the “proven” recipe and you will have double, triple, quadruple the end results.
It is going to take many good Americans to defeat this growing evil plan for America…..but ALL credibility will be lost by the hypocritical declaration that the Muslim’s desire for a world-wide Caliphate is any different than Christianity’s desire for a completely Christian world……that the Muslim prophets are “wrong” but the Bible’s prophets are undeniably AUTHENTIC….when NEITHER Faith is provable.
Choosing and following any faith is a personal choice that every person has. Where things have always gone terribly wrong is confusing “facts” and “faith”.
2+2+2 =’s 6 is a fact. You don’t have faith, you have knowledge the answer is 6.
Faith is what you have in the absence of facts.
Faith does not require “proof,” it is a choice that any person can choose to do. If you have faith your children will always love you, you don’t have any proof they will, but you choose to have FAITH your children will always love you.
It is a very short distance from “I have proof MY Faith is correct and provable”…..and have proof YOURS is wrong….AND if you do not agree with me, I must cut your head off.”
“My Religion” justifies my cutting your head off.

He knows nothing of any military (witness Marine “corpse”), never demonstrated he could lead anything (never led a Cub Scout troop), and know nothing except how to exert his “c;ean” ethnic charm–the gift he told Joe Biden he had. That’s it for little o. And we still have a year and a half of him left.

 

Not surprising

hungarianfalcon (Diary) Tuesday, April 26th at 7:33AM EDT (link)

I see all this as pretty consistent with the general trends towards metrosexual candy …… being in charge. Obama wouldn’t know how to do something in a manly fashion if his life depended on it. Based on what little we know about the man, what else would you expect. I bet he has amazing cuticles. Pretty much feel the same about many/most GOPers except that their constituents often expect them to behave in a more manly fashion so their hands can be forced at times.

For his ilk, winning an intra-US political battle is the utmost importance and most worthy of high praise. Extra-US issues are folly. Taking a difficult stand is folly. They think leveraging political loyalty and then giving kickbacks takes courage. IMO, it’s gutless.

Finally, name a single instance where he has actually “led.” There are plenty of things he has done, but it all involves talking the American people to death, giving airy speeches in controlled environments, appointing officials without representative approval (i.e. the czars) / ruling by fiat (EPA, NLRB, etc.), or letting Nancy and Harry drive. None of that is leadership.

This is not a surprise to many people:

politicalqrm Tuesday, April 26th at 7:34AM EDT (link)

when I head heard him say the words “transforming American” and Michele Obama saying that Barack won’t let you sit and not get involved (paraphrasing), it was straight out of Marxist doctrine.

His whole doctrine included bringing us down economically, with less drilling for oil while loaning money to other countries: Brazil & Colombia to assist in their oil drilling. Oh, we’re going to be a CUSTOMER of these countries

His bowing to other leaders, again, were indications that we are not as good as they. Our past leaders never bowed to any foreign leaders.

As far as his Middle East policy……..crickets chirping. He doesn’t want to take a stand. “Leading from behind” says is all. Talk about inept.

Bringing down our expectations regarding life paths, what we can achieve economically, our standing in the world as a superpower, all part of the overall plan to bring us down to a level where either Russia or China takes the lead.

His czars are reminiscent of Stalin’s apparatchiki: a mini-govt that answered only to him and their actions are not out for public examination.

He is trying to change the mind-set of the American people downplaying the exceptionalism of our people & our contributions to history (the space program, for one). That’s bye-bye in a few months.

Why any of Obama’s actions are such a big surprise to anyone and why they all of a sudden comes this great realization of his plan is puzzling. He’s like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. We’re falling apart and he’s having parties at the White House.

To any of us that have knowledge of Marxist principles, this is not a surprise and our arguments during the election fell on deaf ears.

This man wants to weaken us in every way that has our founding fathers rolling in their graves.

The only thing now, is how we minimize the damage to the country and how to reverse his policies.And ensure that he is not re-elected in 2012.

And the GOP had better get their act together and find a strong conservative who doesn’t waver in their principles. No RINOS,

Most of the idiot masses don’t care as long as the government is taking care of them. This so-called president is nothing but a Soros mouthpiece. He is not as smart as he would have us believe. As he said in his book, “I will stand with Islam”. That’s exactly what he is doing. Some picture him as the anti-Christ. If you read the above post from jeffex11 it is not that radical an idea. O’s arrogance and disgust with our nation seems to bear out the premise that he is undermining our rights and freedoms to pacify our enemies. He is a coward who “leads from behind” because he doesn’t want to be blamed for anything that doesn’t go his way. If ever there was a time for impeachment it is now. His flaunting of power to “fundamentally change” the country, his idea of being above the Constitution, his association with radicals and communists and his apologizing for America are only a few reasons why he should be gone! Even an idiot like Biden would be an improvement. Those of us who do see what’s happening need to continue to try to get the word out to the ones who are oblivious. NOW more than ever!

Yes, they can. But they will do nothing. The powers behind this “destruction of America” plan know full well the shape the American people are in. Complacent, apathetic, fat, lazy, proud, lovers of self, screw thy neighbor for a buck. And they are using it to implement their agenda. Most people will do nothing but accept the crumbs that the new order will throw out. There is only one way to help America, and that is the adherence to the scripture, ll chronicles, 7;14. We are NOT a humble people anymore. We are a proud and(see above) people. God hates a proud heart, but loves a humble spirit. But we have turned our backs to God, the One who has blessed us to have what we have had since our beginning. And since we have turned our backs on God, He has allowing us to reap what we sow. And any one can see what we have sown. Better pay attention to jeffexs’ post above. Its coming folks. Prepare yourselves, and make yourself ready for the life to come, whether it be in Heaven, or hell. Its up to you, and no one else.

 
 

How is he wrong?

We HAVE been replaced on the world stage by China as the preeminent power, and we ARE reviled throughout much of the world.

Of course, all of the former is Obama’s doing, and all of the latter because of the Treason Media spouting Blame-America-Firstism for a decade straight. But the problems are real even if we’re being lied to about their causes.

China THE Pre-eminent World Power...NOT

audax (Diary) Wednesday, April 27th at 1:32AM EDT (link)

Here is IBD’s take on it:

http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/570140/201104251858/China-As-No-1-Give-Us-A-Break.htm

Mine is: How can China be THE Pre-eminent world power when they cannot project real power? China is THE new Paper Tiger, blow the winds of war on China and it will blow away. The lack of a pre-eminent BLUE water navy is China’s doom. The US Navy will destroy China’s Navy in the first day. China is not, and will not, able to project air power far from their shores, you can’t march a billion people across an ocean.

China’s one child policy is China’s doom, with an 56% male edge and a graying population, time is NOT on China’s side.

China’s smothering of initiative (exceptionalism) is China’s doom. Technological advancement is stiffled. They can only steal ideas and “attempt” to replicate them. This is not what makes a pre-eminent world power.

China’s lack of certain natural resources, i.e. water, and misuse of it’s environment, i.e.pollution, is China’s doom.

China as pre-eminent world power is a myth.

Norm Cohen Right On Libya War

almas Tuesday, April 26th at 10:13AM EDT (link)

Columnist Norm Cohen is absolutely right in his April 22nd assessment that Libya is in a civil war the U.S. should not be involved in nor should the U.S. continue involvement in three other wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, not to mention direct interference in the fall of Egypt’s government.

Purists might claim justification for war in dozens of countries around the world, but wars simply perpetuate more wars, spreading like cancer. War rarely settles anything as evidenced by WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Kosovo, Africa, and other hot spots in Syria, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

America is NOT the policeman of the world that has been fighting virtually from the earliest biblical days when Cain killed his brother Abel. The underlying problem is that politicians too often make the wrong guess on who to back or who to attack. There has not been a good decision since WWII, and there is legitimate doubt about that.

The Middle East is fraught with mass violent protest, revolution, and civil wars that are spreading across the region. It is like a horrific fire that cannot be contained and the best hope is that it will take its course and eventually burn itself out.

All in the name of the three letter deity, the god of the Muslim world…OIL. And all America has to do is learn how to live without their half of its oil needs and go into WWII manufacturing mode that out-produced the Nazi/Axis alliance, defeating enemies from Germany to Japan, a herculean task competed spectacularly.

It can be done again but this president is no FDR who orchestrated this monumental effort. ‘Drill Here and Drill Now’ should have more resonance than ever. American determination, ingenuity and corporate capital along with a moral renaissance can lead the way to an independence from the death wish of the Middle East.

Meanwhile America has become a paper tiger that is toothless in its own defense but rents itself out as the world mercenary force except that no tribute has been or will be paid.

Humanitarian aid in case of war and natural disasters is the smartest thing America can do. Taking sides too often results in wrong choices; notably Roosevelt siding with one ruthless dictator against another, to wit, backing Russia’s Joseph Stalin against Nazi Germany’s Adolph Hitler. Both would have been decimated and their power destroyed except for America’s misguided taking of sides, one bully against another, eventually resulting in 50 years of Cold War with Russia.

The lesson for American war-hawk politicians is ‘Never interfere in a bully versus bully fight.’ May the bullies learn a hard-earned fact of life that their days are numbered and they are forced to fight each other without help from another bully.

Shiite and Sunni Muslims have been at war for 1,400 years and the time has come for America to back out of this unending feud that is magnified by NATO with Obama’s air support, but Obama was wrong as presidents usually are, and if any support were needed it should have been a U.N. matter that is the beneficiary of mainly U.S. funding and expensive headquarters in New York City.

Missing from the anti-war movement are environmentalists, green energy advocates, religious and political groups, along with anti-war groups themselves that dare not cross their designated leader.

The thing is that the U.S. commits 1.2 Million abortions per year; sensitivities are dulled as to the horrors of war in terms of death, injury, and mass destruction that in turn sow the seeds for the next war. Most feuds end with neither side knowing what the original fight was all about, as proven by the 100 year Hatfield versus the McCoy feud, fought over the ownership of a pig.

There seems to be a world-wide relentless creep toward Armageddon but America should not be an enabler. Republican Senator John McCain is visiting Libya and is 100% for this still congressionally unauthorized war. Evidently whether the last presidential election chose either Obama or McCain, probably nothing would have changed.

Republicans and Democrats are clamoring for more U.S. action. What can they be thinking? And the obvious answer is that they are not.

they are thinking.

Their agenda, both parties, are trying their best. to bring about the new world order that the first Bush talked about so much. They have to do it subtly or we the people will revolt, and they don’t want that. But oh yes, they’re thinking.

 
 

Roger Waters doesn't realize it, but he wrote about Obama nearly 40 years ago

Finrod (Diary) Tuesday, April 26th at 10:18AM EDT (link)

Us and Them
And after all we’re only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it’s not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
moved from side to side

Sure, when Waters wrote this he was talking about the disconnect between the men fighting the war and the people leading it, but that seems to sum up what we have going on today.

Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it’s only round and round.
Haven’t you heard it’s a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There’s room for you inside.

PETA and the ASPCA are pure evil. See here and here.

Why should this surprise anyone? Isn’t the phrase merely a euphemism for leading with your ass?!

“Let Him Finish.” And that the conservative version adds “Last.”
